Remember that spin-off ‘Office‘ series we have been talking about for the last few months on here? You can catch up HERE. Well it seems that the Dwight Schrute centric series, ‘The Farm’ is no longer on the table, meaning that the series finale of ‘The Office’ next year will be the last we see of Dunder Mifflin and its employees.

For a very limited time, you can get the Complete Blu-ray movie set to the ‘Indiana Jones‘ films. Yes, the Crystal Skull does come with it, but the other three films are worth it. This set retails for about $100.00, but now you can get it for $49.99, which makes it the cheapest it has ever been.

Now, unbeknownst to them, Hansel and Gretel have become the hunted, and must face an evil far greater than witches…their past.

Why is this happening? I don’t get it. Universal Pictures has just inked a deal for ‘The Legend of Conan’, an action film that is set to star Arnold Schwarzenegger in a role he made famous a few decades ago. Universal released the first film of the series back in 1982 and really boosted Schwarzenegger’s film career.

The G4 network has just announced that it has cancelled their two longest and biggest shows, ‘Attack of the Show’ and ‘X-Play’. These shows have made almost 3000 episodes to date and will not longer be airing new ones after the end of the year. These shows have launched a few people’s careers including Olivia Minn and Chris Hardwick. This is sad news. I loved these shows, as they were my goto channel for all things tech and games. They will be missed. Below is the official press release:

‘Ridiculous 6’ is the title of the next Adam Sandler film, which he will be producing under his Happy Madison production label. It will be a comedy western this go around, with the title sort of resembling the 1960 epic western ‘The Magnificent Seven’. We can only imagine what Sandler and his people will do with this .

Skip Woods (The A-Team) provides the script, with Max Payne’s John Moore directing.” I’m just going out on limb here, I doubt this will be any good. What do you think?

First off, you’re probably asking yourself “Who the $%@# is Gary Moore, and why is he playing Jimi Hendrix songs?!?” Sadly and admittedly, I had to ask myself the same thing. Until recently, I had never heard of Moore. As a rock n’ roll connoisseur, I should have been more familiar with a guitar bad ass such as he, but as I say time and time again…the music will find you when it’s supposed to.

Here it is. It’s finally here. The amazing trailer for the remake of ‘The Evil Dead‘. I’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time. These films have been a big part of my life. You probably already know that by the name of this website. Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi have given their stamp of approval for this, and this just looks totally fucking nuts. Yes, there a re different characters, however, the main theme is the same. I’m to giddy right now.

You read that right, folks. ‘Rear Window‘ , the Hitchcock classic will become a stage version on Broadway. Director Jay Russell and producer Charlie Lyons have teamed up with actor Tim Guinee (Homeland) to develop the project. Lyons and Russell have worked together before on ‘The Water Horse‘ and ‘Ladder 49‘.

Here is the first TV spot for Peter Jackson’s ‘Hobbit’ film. Short and sweet, just like Hobbits. Whoa, that sounded creepy. Synopsis: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield.”

It might not yet be Halloween, and there are still a few days left to carve up that jack-o-lantern for the front porch, but The Polyphonic Spree is ready to ring in the Christmas spirit with or without you, with their first full length holiday album, “Holidaydream: Songs of the Holidays, Vol. 1”.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I have to say this preceding review may be partially biased, as I spent a good many months leading up to the album’s release, working on the album art, layout, pressing of vinyl, etc., so needless to say, I’m quite thrilled to see (and hear) the album’s existence.

‘Cloud Atlas’ is not just a movie you view, it’s a full experience. Only a few films can hold that title of being an experience and not just a film we casually watch on a weekend. The Wachowski siblings and Tom Tykwer did a flawless job in adapting David Mitchell’s novel to the big screen. I believe that ‘Cloud Atlas’ is a milestone in filmmaking with superb acting, an original way to tell multiple stories, and some of the best editing I have ever seen. Not only is ‘Cloud Atlas’ a visual experience, but it is a spiritual experience, at least to me it was. This 3 hour film is one of the better films of the past decade.

Here is your first full look at ‘Iron Man 3’. “Marvel’s “Iron Man 3″ pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?”

Here is the funny trailer for ‘A Haunted House’, which is Marlon Wayans latest film. This one spooks ‘Paranormal Activity’ and a few other demonic possession films. And it looks funny, at least to me it does. Synopsis: “In an outrageous send up of the Paranormal Activity movies, The Devil Inside and other “found footage” movies, A HAUNTED HOUSE features young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) who have just moved in to their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they’re not alone. But it’s not the house that’s haunted, it’s Malcolm’s girlfriend who is possessed by a demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship… or, more importantly, his sex life.”

Paramount has greenlit a 5th ‘Paranormal Activity’ movie, which will be a direct sequel to the 4th one, which opened to decent numbers this weekend. Read my review HERE. That’s not it though. There will be a spin-off ‘Paranormal Activity’ film, which most likely come out next spring, geard towards a Latino audience. And if you have have seen the 4th film already and stayed to the very end of the credits, you’ll understand why.

Here is a fun and short look at ‘Iron Man 3′, which the full length trailer will be released Tuesday. Enjoy this snippet of what you can expect. Iron Man gets a third outing fresh from his team-up with The Avengers in this Marvel Studios production. Robert Downey Jr. once again stars, with Shane Black helming from a script he cowrote with Drew Pierce that takes its cues from Warren Ellis’ Extremis comic mini-series. Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, and Rebecca Hall join the returning cast of Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle.

Every Halloween, sleepy Fairhaven, Massachusetts erupts with the most ambitiously creative spookery in the world. Endless styrofoam tombstones and backyard beasts come courtesy of a few supremely dedicated local “home haunters” who’ve devoted their lives to the art of handmade monster-making. THE AMERICAN SCREAM follows three of these horrific households to uncover the triumphs and tragedies that come with carrying the blackened banner of true Halloween spirit.

I’ve been hearing about a little film called ‘Holy Motors’ for a little while now, and after finally getting in late to the game, I watched the trailer. And friends, this looks amazing and bizarre, and unlike anything I have ever seen. There is a lot going on in this trailer that I don’t even know where to explain, so I ‘ll just let you view and come to your own conclusions. But whatever it maybe, you can’t deny that this looks insane and very, very good. I can’t wait for this to open up in Dallas. It’s open in a couple of cities already.

The host of Comedy Central’s ‘Colbert Report’, Stephen Colbert has been a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and his work for a long time. Colbert has mentioned his fandom about Tolkien’s works on his Comedy Central show for years now. Well, it looks like Mr. Peter Jackson has made one of his dreams come true. A source close to the project has confirmed that Jackson has added Mr. Colbert to the film trilogy, however it won’t be the upcoming ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’, which is set to release December 14 of this year.

I’ve been a fan of the previous three ‘Paranormal Activity’ films since they have been released. Hell, I even own all of them on blu-ray, and yes, they do tend to scare me from time to time. So you might say, I was excited for yet another chapter in the series. ‘Paranormal Activity 4’ has some great ideas, a couple of very likable characters, and one hell of a truly terrifying ending. Other than that, this is my least favorite chapter in the film franchise.

‘Alex Cross’ was such a let down. James Patterson’s novel or novels about a clever cop did not adapt well to this particular film. I feel like this movie could have been 100 times better than it was. I think it was in the wrong hands from start to finish and it just completely imploded on itself. Maybe this will make money in the box office due to Tyler Perry’s fan-base wanting to see something completely different from the actor than what he normally does, but I don’t see people giving a second though, or really even a first thought while watching this poorly made movie.

“Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me. And sure enough, ex-military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter-a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot.”

Move over zombies, because the new threat are animal poachers. Warner Bros. is developing two films with big names attached about the illegal poaching and trafficking of endangered animals around the world. Both projects are being produced by Tobey Maguire, Tom Hardy, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s studios. I expect big casts out of these films too. Because, once Hollywood gets behind something, they are a force to be reckoned with.

The season 3 premier of the zombie hit series on AMC, drew in 10.9 million viewers, which was the most watched episode of the series to date, and as also the most watched episode of any basic cable series EVER. It even drew higher numbers for viewers under 50 than ‘Modern Family’, and ‘The Big Bang Theory’. Zombies are taking over. Congrats ‘Walking Dead’.

Kevin Hart will play the fight promoter who retrieves these two old and retired boxers to step in the ring one last time. Peter Segal will direct with ‘Entourage’ creator Doug Ellin working on a the latest draft of the script. So Balboa vs. La Motta, huh? Not sure whether to laugh or be excited about this. I just hope the tagline is, “No matter who wins, we all lose.”

So, that Munsters remake for NBC, that was going to be a huge hit, but was axed recently will actually air on television, but only the pilot. I think NBC really wanted to be behind the series and was excited about this, which is why they are airing the pilot. The pilot will air on October 26th, as part of a Halloween theme and lead into the series ‘Grimm’. If it does well in ratings, which I’m sure it will, the show will get a ful season order. I hope so, because I am a big fan of Bryan Fuller. Enjoy the trailer below.

In time for Halloween, here is our ultimate list of zombie movies. Technically there are 21 on this list, because we couldn’t do just 20. Hopefully there are a few on here that you haven’t seen, so you could possible have a zombie movie marathon and watching some zombie action you have never seen before. There are all kinds of zombie films on this list. Comedies, horror, dramas, and more. You can think of this list a survival guide to the impending zombie outbreak. Enjoy.

So here is yet another poster for the upcoming ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ reboot. Yes, that’s right, another reboot of the franchise. This time it is just called ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’. That makes this the 3rd reboot of the film and either the 7th or 8th film total about the crazy family and Leatherface in Texas. So, while Leatherface looks really fucking cool here, he is missing one key ingredient. His fucking chainsaw! Come on people, that’s like making a ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ poster with Freddy on the front, but he does not have his signature finger knife glove. I think the previous poster, which can be seen HERE, is better. I can only hope for the best.

I can’t wait to see this movie. This film was supposed to be released back on September 7th, but due to the Aurora theater shooting, Warner Bros, decided to push the film back to January 11 and film an alternate scene, which replaced the scene where several of the gangsters burst through a movie theater screen and open fire on the audience. This trailer looks very good and has a hell of a cast. Can’t wait. Your thoughts?

Martin McDonagh’s ‘Seven Psychopaths’ is highly entertaining. I was a huge fan of McDonagh’s ‘In Bruges’ and have since then been wanting more from him. It’s been four years since ‘In Bruges’, which was the last thing McDonagh did, and I can safely say that McDonagh’s writing and directing has only gotten better. McDonagh is the next Tarantino and ‘Seven Psychopaths’ is an excellent film.

Ben Affleck’s ‘Argo’ is a brilliantly told film. Affleck has come a long way since ‘Dazed and Confused’ and ‘Mallrats‘. In my opinion, Affleck has gotten better with each directorial effort with ‘Gone Baby Gone’, ‘The Town’, and now ‘Argo’, which I think is his best yet. Not only is ‘Argo’ a great film, it has a smart script, good acting, clever humor in a serious and tragic situation, and impeccable period detail that rivals AMC’s ‘Mad Men’. I have no doubt that ‘Argo’ will be in my Top 10 list for this year.

Over the past few weeks, I have been hearing that this new horror movie, ‘Sinister’ delivers the scares and is finally a decent horror film. Something we haven’t seen in at least a year or two. Needless to say, me being the horror maven that I am, I was super psyched when I heard some fellow critics talk about how much they liked ‘Sinister’ and how scary it was. This mix of the paranormal, occult, and solving a murder case has its moments of good, but feels forced in the scare department.

I cannot wait to see Tarantino’s new film. It looks like a lot of fun. And it has such an amazing cast. “Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave.” Enjoy the trailer.

The new trailer for ‘Wreck it Ralph’ looks all sort of cool. Disney is doing something right with this film. “Ralph (John C. Reilly) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer), the “good guy” star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he’s tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it’s too late?” Enjoy the trailer.

The 20th Century Foc animation team and Blue Sky Studios are developing a big film franchise for Charles Schulz’s ‘Peanuts’. The team behind ‘Ice Age’ has already set a release date for the first film, which will be Thanksgiving day in 2015, so we have a bit of time. More than three years in fact. That date celebrates the 65th anniversary of the original comic strip and the 50th anniversary of the ‘Charlie Brown Chistmas’ special according to Deadline.

Here is your first look at ‘Die Hard 5’. You’d think this story would have nothing more to say, however, if it makes money, they’ll keep making more. The last Die Hard film was pretty bad on multiple levels. Let’s just hope that this new one is rated R and not PG-13 like the last one. I do like the fact that John McClane’s son is is named Junior. Let us know what you think of the trailer. And thank to EW for the image.

Last night, a new instrument accompanied the regular menagerie of Dallas Symphony Orchestral musicians as they performed the musical accompaniment to Looney Tunes. It was the intermittent, but well punctuated chorus of children’s laughter coming from the audience that made this performance timeless. The audience’s participation and audible reaction to the performance allowed us to connect intimately with the performers, and together, we created something greater than the sum of us combined. It was a worthy homage to the iconic works of Chuck Jones.

I was much impressed with Tim Burton’s remake of his own short-fil of the same title, ‘Frankenweenie’, about a boy who brings back to life his dead dog in the vein of Frankenstein. Burton really has made much of any original film in the last ten years, besides ‘Big Fish’, and in my opinion, his remakes aren’t good, but with this one, it seemed like a return from the director I grew up with and learned to love, despite my loathing of his remake films. ‘Frankenweenie’ was very entertaining and a lot of fun.

Sacha Baron Cohen, the man of many personalities, will be developing a feature film for Paramount called ‘The Lesbian’. This project is inspired by real life Cecil Chao, the Hong Kong billionaire who offered $65 million dollars to any guy who succeeded in marrying his lesbian daughter. This seems like the perfect project for Sacha Baron Cohen.

Of course they would make a sequel to ‘Taken’. The film made over $226 million dollars with a budget $200 million smaller than its gross. Did they need to make a sequel? No, they didn’t. But, since the weird popularity of Liam Neeson as of recently, it was inevitable that the studio make a sequel. Neeson has sort of taken on the persona that Chuck Norris or Nic Cage has of the past few years. Meaning that now, Neeson is one true ultimate badass, that fights aliens, robots, kills every bad guy everywhere in the world, and is a jedi. ‘Taken 2’ takes all of this power, and pretty much forces it into one film. As my friend said, “No, ‘Taken 2’ is not good, but on a Nic Cage scale, it’s a 9. And I have to agree with that.

While compiling this list, I realized there was no way I could choose only 10 of the best horror soundtracks. So, because I thrive on being different, I am very pleased to bring you 13 of the choicest, rarest, and most kick ass horror soundtracks that I know of. Every one of the following are so good, it was really difficult to rate them from best to bestest. Each and every one of these titles hails from the very late 70’s thru the 80’s…how incredibly biased of me.

‘The Perks of Being A Wallflower’ is hands down one of my favorite films of the year. I haven’t seen such a genuine coming of age high school movie since the late John Hughes was making his films about being a teenager. Director and writer Stephen Chbosky hit a home run with ‘The Perks of Being A Wallflower’. I haven’t fallen in love with characters like this since HBO’s ‘Six Feet Under’ was on television. I did not want ‘The Perks of Being A Wallflower’ to end.

I first heard about this film earlier this year when Gerard Butler told me that he was going to play a foul-mouthed leprechaun, and that one of his lines was, “I’m going to crawl up your mother’s cunt and start a fire.” That instantly put this film at the top of my list. This film has about a dozen writers and a dozen directors, and looks to be a sort sketch comedy film, but who knows? I can’t tell what this will be about. But one thing is for sure, it looks fucking hilarious and has an AMAZING cast including, Sean William Scott, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Christopher Mintz Plasse (McLovin), Chloe Moretz, Liev Shreiber, Terrence Howard, Gerard Butler, Kate Winslet, Elizabeth Banks, Hugh Jackman, Kristen Bell, Emma Stone, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, Parick Warburton, Justin Long, Uma Thurman, Kate Bosworth, Kieran Culkin, Jack McBrayer, and much much more.

I’m sure most of you have heard or played the epic and fun as hell zombie video game ‘L4D’ (Left 4 Dead). It seems like Simon Pegg, Shaun from ‘Shaun of the Dead’ has given his blessing to all of the gamers and Valve (the company behind L4D) the go ahead to develop a custom campaign in the game based on ‘Shaun of the Dead’.

The directors of ‘The Matrix’ trilogy, ‘Speed Racer’, and the upcoming ‘Cloud Atlas’ are jumping into the television scene with J. Michael Straczynski to develop a project called ‘Sense8’. The project is gearing to be a hourlong series with the hopes of some network picking it up for multiple episodes.

Here’s your first look at Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in ‘The Lone Ranger’. This project by Gore Verbinsky has had some trouble getting off the ground, but has resumed nicely. This film has a budget of $215 million dollars, which is incredibly insane. Depp plays Tonto and Hammer plays the Lone Ranger. I know you all know who Depp is, but to refresh your memory, Hammer played the Winklevoss twins in ‘The Social Network’. The film will release on July 3 of next year. Your thoughts?

October is here, and that means Halloween is around the corner. Over the course of October, we will be doing our favorite top 10 horror lists. We are starting with the top 10 Werewolf films. I’ve always been a fan of werewolves, and I admit, I have also been deeply afraid of them. There is something so mysterious and yet so vicious and magical about a werewolf that draws me into any and all films that have something to do with werewolves. So I present to you, Boomstick’s top 10 Werewolf films. Enjoy.

Elijah Wood, most known for his role as Frodo, in the Lord of the Rings trilogy has teamed up with Josh C. Waller and Daniel Noah to form an indie film company called ‘The Woodshed’. The Woodshed will focus on horror/sci-fi films mostly according to Deadline. If this sounds weird to you, it shouldn’t be. Elijah has been an avid horror and genre fan for a long time. Don’t forget he was the sadistic killer and cannibal in ‘Sin City’, he was in the horror film ‘The Faculty’, and he is the sinister killer in the remake of ‘Maniac’. His horror chops are very strong, plus he loves the genre.

The creator of Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show will host the 85th Oscars. That’s right folks, Seth MacFarlane, the director of the recent film ‘Ted’ will assume hosting duties. I wonder if this is a ploy to get a younger audience to watch the Oscars, a ploy the Academy has been trying to do for many years. Remember that horror montage they did a few years ago at the Oscars, which failed miserably? Or maybe, they love MacFarlane’s hosting duties on Comedy Central’s Roasts? Which ever the reason, I expect some inappropriate and funny humor at the Oscars.
